Duncan Hines Hummingbird Cake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 350 and grease a large square cake pan (like 12x18). If you do not have a 12x18 pan, a 9x13 will work. Just cut all the ingredients in half.
• 2. First, mix cake mixes according to directions on the boxes except use melted butter in place of oil. Also, add vanilla extract.
• 3. Next add pineapple, smashed bananas, cinnamon, salt, and pecans.
• 4. Mix all this together well.
• 5. Pour into pan and cook for 25 to 30 min or until toothpick is inserted and comes out clean. Let cool and ice with cream cheese frosting.
• 6. For frosting, add cream cheese to mixing bowl. Add butter, confectioners sugar, and vanilla. Mix well.
• 7. Add milk, a little a the time, to get the consistency you want it to be.
• 8. Then frost cake after it cools and enjoy.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Remove 2 Tbsp. juice; reserve for later use. Pour remaining juice into 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Add drained pineapple; mix well.
• Reserve 1/2 banana for later use. Chop remaining bananas; place over pineapple. Sprinkle with dry cake mix, then nuts. Drizzle with milk.
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until lightly browned. Cool 10 min.
• Beat Neufchatel, sugar and reserved pineapple juice with mixer until blended. Cut reserved banana half into 12 slices. Cut cake into 12 pieces.
• Serve cake pieces topped with Neufchatel mixture and banana slices, adding about 1-1/2 tsp. Neufchatel mixture and 1 banana slice to each cake piece.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the bananas, oil, eggs, pineapple and vanilla until well blended. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and cinnamon; gradually beat into banana mixture until blended. Stir in walnuts. , Pour into 3 greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. , For frosting, in a large bowl, beat the shortening, butter, lemon zest and salt until fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar alternately with pineapple juice. Beat in cream. Spread between layers and over top and sides of cake. If desired, sprinkle with walnuts.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
• Divide mixture equally between 2 greased 9" round cake pans.
• Bake on both pans on middle oven rack for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes then remove cakes from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
• Place one cake (the "bottom" one) on a plate and frost with cream cheese frosting, taking care to make it heavier on top.
• Place the other cake (the "top" cake) on top of the already frosted cake to create a layer cake.
• Frost the top cake so it blends with the bottom cake and forms a two-tier layer cake.
• NOTE: If the cakes are not flat on the top, use a long knife to cut the "baking bump" off so they are flat BEFORE you frost them. It will give them a more uniform appearance.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in the center. Butter two 9-by-2-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper. Butter paper, and dust the pans with flour, tapping out any excess. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat oil, vanilla, and sugar until combined, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, incorporating each before adding the next. Beat at medium speed until mixture is pale yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix together banana, pineapple, walnuts, and coconut. Add to egg mixture; stir until well combined. Add flour mixture; blend well.
• Divide batter between pans. Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer pans to a greased wire rack. Let cool 15 minutes. Run a knife around edges to loosen. Invert onto racks; reinvert, top side up. Cool completely. Assemble cake, or wrap each layer well and freeze (thaw before using).
• With a serrated knife, trim and discard rounded top off one layer. Place layer on serving platter. Using an offset spatula, spread top of layer with 1/4 inch of frosting. Top with untrimmed layer. Frost sides and top of cake with remaining frosting. Decorate with pineapple flowers, if desired. Serve at room temperature. (Cake can be refrigerated up to 3 days.)
